Snow Berry^p⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| CD

4/1

Has 4 course wins including 3 over C&D and ran creditably when third of 5 in a 6f handicap here 42 days ago, despite being hampered leaving stalls. Has quirks but goes well at this track.

Yazaman^b¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 57| CD

13/2

Finished fifth of 9 in a 5f handicap at Beverley (10/1) 17 days ago, racing wide without usual headgear. Blinkers back on and he's down to a tempting mark.

Toptime²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: S R Bowring| OR: 56| D

3/1

Shaped better than result when fourth of 8 in 6f handicap here in June. Failed to build on that when eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (9/1) 28 days ago but return to 5f today could show him in a better light.

Form: 5-66648

Masterclass^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 54| CD

10/3

C&D winner back in May but not quite in the same form since, fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (11/2) 22 days ago, making headway under pressure before weakening late on. Returns to the scene of last success and just 2 lb above that mark.

Chasing Gold^h1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Michael Keady| OR: 57

18/1

Improved after wind operation for new yard, finishing third of 6 in 6f handicap here (10/1) 23 days ago when racing keenly over 6f. Now wears first-time hood back at 5f.

Form: 8850-43

Lunar Force^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55

11/2

Winless in 12 career starts, looking like she had broken her duck in 6-runner 6f handicap here7 days ago, only to be demoted after bumping rival. Wears first-time cheekpieces and she's lower in the weights here.

Form: 645572

Gypsy Nation^p,t⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M Appleby| OR: 52| CD

10/1

Won a 6-runner C&D handicap 42 days ago, finishing strongly after making headway from 2f out despite being awkward leaving stalls. Returns to a track that clearly suits and 7 lb rise won't prevent a bold follow-up bid.

Form: 405401

(2)

Soldiers Design^p,t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Gina Mangan| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 49| D

14/1

Down in the weights and offered something to work on when third of 6 to Gypsy Nation over C&D 42 days ago. Should be a factor at this level.

Form: 00-8933

Forecasts

Toptime (3/1), Masterclass (10/3), Snow Berry (4/1), Lunar Force (11/2), Yazaman (13/2), Gypsy Nation (10/1), Soldiers Design (14/1), Chasing Gold (18/1)

LUNAR FORCE was correctly demoted after causing interference here last week but that confirms she's in good nick and able to race from 3 lb lower, she can break her maiden tag. Gypsy Nation did it well over C&D last month and is feared most, ahead of Toptime.
